This week, we held a hearing on the rollout of NYC’s commercial waste zones. I'm committed to working with @nycsanitation.bsky.social to ensure safer, cleaner, and more efficient waste management across our city. Thank you to everyone who showed up and provided their testimonies.
Today, on Yom HaShoah, we pause to remember the six million Jewish lives lost during the Holocaust.

Mayor Adams continues to undermine the City’s Zero Waste goals — first by cutting composting education, then by claiming that they had all the resources needed for a successful residential organics rollout. Clearly, that was a lie. When the administration refused to invest in public outreach, the Council stepped up — funding $6.25 million so trusted nonprofits could spread the word. Meanwhile, this administration has fumbled a citywide rollout of a program that had already been successfully piloted. If DSNY’s $1.9 billion budget can’t fund basic education, what are we even doing? The Mayor can’t cut corners, botch the rollout, and then blame New Yorkers for being confused, especially when he never prioritized educating them on the rules in the first place. We’ve heard from New Yorkers — they want to do the right thing. But the City has to help. That means investing real money in education, not outsourcing the job to stretched-thin nonprofits and hoping no one notices the failure.

Afterschool programs are life changing for kids and families, and nobody does it better than The Brotherhood Sister Sol.
If every kid had access to a place like BroSis, this city would be unstoppable.

New Yorkers are tired of trash bags and fed up with rats. We need a cleaner city—period.
The Empire bins rolling out this week in Upper Manhattan come from a year-long pilot that cut rat complaints by 60%. We’re never going back!
